In light of recent events, such as the tragic death of Sarah Everard, I am fundraising for the Rape and Sexual Violence Project. It has been recorded that 97% of women have been sexually harassed or assaulted, however hardly any women report the harassment that they most likely experience everyday. It is also not just women, as 1 in 10 rape survivors are male. RSVP provides a number of services for survivors and those that support them, such as counselling, advocates, helplines, social groups, self help and multiple events.
This charity is very close to my heart, being a woman who is also scared to walk home when it's dark, has faked phone calls because someone crossed onto the road I was walking, circled around my area multiple times so the men catcalling me wouldn't know where I live. This fear is something that everybody goes through and it has been normalised and ignored for far too long. To raise the money, I will be walking 10,000 steps a day for a month, as well as baking brownies or cupcakes for those that donate. Please help me to raise money for this amazing charity, and also raise awareness for the casual harassment and misogyny that we deem 'normal' in our society.
If you donate, please message me on instagram @mollyy2000 to arrange your cupcakes/brownies! :)
If you want to do something more for this charity, there are many ways you can help, such as another fundraiser, or volunteering. For more info check: https://rsvporg.co.uk/support-us/
